Poems

The sun is always shining

From the May 2022 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The sun knows not of rise or set
For it is always shining. 
Sunrise, sunset are not events;
It’s just our point of view. 

If fast at noon I traveled west,
Sunset I’d never see,
And if at night, I traveled west,
Sunrise I would not see,
But the sun would still be shining! 

We’re all in different places
With our separate points of view,
But the sun cannot be shining 
On just me and not on you.
